I recently shook my feathers from head to tip of tail just enough to loosen up the inner gumption to subscribe to mailings from copywriter Meg Peery <megpeery.com>.
She promptly rattled my cage (am I mixing metaphors? maintaining one? doesn't matter) with a discussion of motion vs. action.
If I stop now to examine metaphors—feathers, cage—or explain the difference between motion and action, I'll be in motion but not taking the action that aligns with my inner inklings.
I need to take the action of posting to my blog for the first time in weeks to document the first time I've picked up a paintbrush in my studio in months.
Studio as repository for all manner of items related to renovations going on elsewhere in my home:
Action taken just now:
 |
| grabbed a page of quality paper from an old calendar, grabbed a paintbrush (marketed as a makeup brush), grabbed a jar of black gesso, painted gesso onto paper: ACTION |

On a whim decided to type "D" in my browser which always brings up your blog. WOW two posts that I somehow missed or didn't get a notice for! Whatever, glad you took action! Hope you are all well! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Carol, first and foremost: greetings! Grateful to be reconnected! I join you in being glad that I've chosen action over spinning-my-wheels motion that moves me nowhere. All good wishes to you!
